A visa is of a temporary status whereas a green card gives a permanent status to the foreigners to live and work in the United States. The permanent
residence card or green card is issued for the period of ten years whereas a visa is issued for a period of a few months. The expiration of green card
is a serious issue and a green card should be renewed immediately.

A green card is an identification card for those who do not have American citizenship. An individual who is a green card holder can enjoy the same
kind of facilities as the local citizens such as social security benefits, health insurance profits or lower education fees etc. This is not affected
by the nationality of his birth country and at same time he can manage to maintain permanent residence in the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security, through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), provides immigration benefits to people who are
entitled to stay in the U.S. on a temporary or permanent basis. These benefits include

granting of U.S. citizenship to those who are eligible to naturalize,
authorizing individuals to reside in the U.S. on a permanent basis, and
providing aliens with the eligibility to work in the United States

Although not a legal document, according to this, BlueAjah's interpretation would be correct but the EO would even apply to naturalized citizens so,
either way, someone messed up therefore, the need for the waiver.

Yes, DT is known for bloopers. He's far from perfect and I bet his family facepalms over some of the stuff he says. I think the intent is whats
important tho. I don't think he meant this the way it's portrayed in the MSM.

If seeking to enter the United States after temporary travel abroad, you will need to present a valid, unexpired “green card” (Form I-551,
Permanent Resident Card). When arriving at a port of entry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer will review your permanent resident card and
any other identity documents you present, such as a passport, foreign national I.D. card or U.S. Driver’s License, and determine if you can enter
the United States. For information pertaining to entry into the United States, see U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s webpage.
Does travel outside the United States affect my permanent resident status?

Permanent residents are free to travel outside the United States, and temporary or brief travel usually does not affect your permanent resident
status. If it is determined, however, that you did not intend to make the United States your permanent home, you will be found to have abandoned your
permanent resident status. A general guide used is whether you have been absent from the United States for more than a year. Abandonment may be found
to occur in trips of less than a year where it is believed you did not intend to make the United States your permanent residence. While brief trips
abroad generally are not problematic, the officer may consider criteria such as whether your intention was to visit abroad only temporarily, whether
you maintained U.S. family and community ties, maintained U.S employment, filed U.S. income taxes as a resident, or otherwise established your
intention to return to the United States as your permanent home. Other factors that may be considered include whether you maintained a U.S. mailing
address, kept U.S. bank accounts and a valid U.S. driver’s license, own property or run a business in the United States, or any other evidence that
supports the temporary nature of your absence.

the vetting procedures and policies will continue to be revamped and unvetted people from those 7 countries will not be allowed to enter the U.S.
until they have been properly vetted under the new stricter procedures and policies.
